Make Winter Break Bright at the Y!

Winter break is right around the corner, and the Whatcom Family YMCA is here to help kids and teens stay active, engaged, and connected while school is out. With two exciting camp options, there is something for every young person to discover, explore, and enjoy.

Winter Break Camp (Grades K–5)

School’s Out. Adventure’s In.

Our Winter Break Camp gives kids a place to imagine, create, and have fun in a supportive and playful environment. Each day brings a new theme, hands-on activities, crafts, and plenty of active play to keep spirits bright all season long. Camp is offered at Cordata Elementary and Lowell Elementary with flexible daily registration.
